Conversation with members of the Poetry Club/Literature Club and students enrolled in creative writing classes

Reading + Q&A

Since 1997, Northwestern has hosted this event under the guidance of the English Department; in recent years, sponsorship has grown to include the Art Department and the Library.  Our event now encompasses the annual Spring Student Art Show and the public launch of our Mad River Anthology, which has been published annually since the college was founded in 1965.  The Anthology includes poetry, prose, and art from our students, faculty, area high school students, and members of our community.  Poets selected for inclusion in the Anthology are then invited to read their works during the festival.
